Any HDTV experts out there? Want an LCD for TV and gaming. I can't decide between
the Sony XBR6 line and Sharp ACQUOS equivalent (which I don't know what it is). However, I'm not wed to either brand and am very open to suggestions.

Between Sharp & Sony LCDs, I'd go with Sharp.
Having said that, you can't go wrong with either. I have a Sony because at the time of purchase I got a killer deal.
If it's mostly TV watching and a little gaming, plasma might be a better choice because in general it has better black level and picture quality than LCD. However, if it's in a brightly lit room with large windows and sunlight shines on to the screen often, sunlight reflection might becoming annoying. In such a layout LCD might be a better choice.

This is more of a utility TV so it needs to do both. Later on I'll get a plasma or front projector
to really maximize the home theatre movie experience. I agree that the plasmas are superior movie watching TVs but they are more sensitive to lighting conditions, etc.
